Protest Rocks Russia Navalny’ Over death in jail
Protesters have taken to the streets of Russia to seek justice following the death of Alexei Navalny in a Russia jail.
The protesters also held vigils near Russian embassies in many countries.
However, more than 100 street protesters have been detained in Russian cities, as people were warned not to rally.
The 47-year-old outspoken critic of President Putin had been in a Russian jail since 2021 on politically-motivated charges.
The Russian prison service announced on Friday that he had died, although this has not been confirmed by his family.
US President Joe Biden has alleged that Vladimir Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death.
In August, Navalny was found guilty of founding and funding an extremist organisation, which he denies, and was given an extra 19 years in jail.
He had already been sentenced to nine years for parole violations, fraud and contempt of court.
